Chapter 40 Giving out big red envelopes
After returning home, Liu Fei saw that his mother and father were busy preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, and his two younger sisters were also helping out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Jun sat aside with a book and looked at it, thinking that Liu Fei hadn't returned overnight, he knew that his eldest brother Liu Fei had something to do last night, so he asked with a smile: "Brother, I was over there last night, and I had a round with my sister-in-law, right?" ”
Seeing that his two younger sisters were also beside him, Liu Fei didn't say anything, just smiled slightly.
Liu Xingguo and Zhang Ping had already guessed the result after talking about what had happened when their sister-in-law came back yesterday, and after seeing Liu Fei staying overnight with the woman, it was estimated that the matter had already been settled.
Seeing that it was still early, Liu Fei took two cigarettes and two bottles of wine and walked towards the uncle's house.
Liu Xingjia saw Liu Fei coming to his house with gifts, so he politely pulled Liu Fei to the fire pit to roast the fire. His three sons have no money, and the same is true of the third brother's family, only the children of the second brother's family are either good at making money or reading masters. But Liu Xingjia was not jealous, but was happy for several nephews, they were promising, and they were also very happy in their hearts.
Liu Fei put a cigarette and a bottle of wine on the table next to him, and saw that his uncle Liu Xing's hair was gray, as if he was an old man in his 60s. After the third aunt fell ill and died a few years ago, there were only four big men left in the family, which was really pitiful for this family.
After the lobby brother Liu Xinlin, the second cousin Liu Xingang and the third brother Liu Xinhai saw Liu Fei coming, they all ran over to greet them warmly.
When Liu Fei saw the three cousins like super King Kong, he thought that the uncle's family was so poor, so he wanted the three cousins to help him manage the orchard and fish pond.
The three cousins belong to the kind of honest people, and they don't have a lot of brains, but they should have no problem managing the orchard and the fish pond. Anyway, the orchard doesn't need any technology, just waiting for the land to be requisitioned and paid for later.
"Uncle, after the year, I plan to plant fruit trees in Tianbazi, and when the time comes, I want to ask three cousins to help manage it, with a monthly salary of two thousand."
After Liu Xingjia heard this, he thought that the price of fruits in recent years was not good, so he persuaded him: "Xiaofei, the market price of fruits in recent years has not been good, you must consider it carefully!" ”
"Uncle rest assured, I found a boss in Guangdong to invest, sales are not a problem, uncle can even plant all the land with fruit trees, as long as a few acres of paddy fields are left for food."
"Have you found a market?"
"Yes, the contract is signed, as long as you wait for the fruit harvest, you can directly pull it to Guangdong, and we don't need to sell it at all."
Hearing Liu Fei say this, Liu Xing's family was also relieved, and originally planned to cut down all the peach trees on the ground in the back mountain, but now it seems that there is no need, just graft new varieties. Thinking that Liu Fei gave his three sons a job, the salary was 2,000 yuan, which was completely Liu Fei taking care of his three cousins.
Liu Xinlin was very happy when he heard that Liu Fei was going to invite his three brothers to manage the orchard. However, he immediately thought that his three brothers did not know the skills of managing the orchard at all, except for their efforts.
"Xiaofei, you also know that the three elder brothers have no education and no experience in managing orchards, I think it's better to hire someone else, right?"
"Big brother, it's okay, as long as you have the strength, but after I bring the fruit seedlings in the next year, you will first plant all your own fields, and then come to me to help."
Since Liu Fei didn't care about it, thinking that it was another foreigner to invest, Liu Xinlin and the others agreed.
However, Liu Xingjia considered that Tianbazi was too far away, so he asked Liu Fei to plant fruit trees on the fields there and the hillside, so that it was convenient for Liu Fei to manage.
Liu Fei didn't refuse, not that Liu Fei didn't want to tell his uncle that Liu Xing's family would have to requisition land in two years, but he was worried that he would be open-mouthed, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
At the same time, Liu Fei also persuaded the uncle to open a separate household registration list after the New Year, and each of the four members of the family had an account. According to the wheel of history, the three cousins will get married and split up in 2006, but Liu Fei is worried about the rebirth effect, so he persuades him to start a household as soon as possible.
After bidding farewell to his uncle's house, Liu Fei came to the third uncle's house again and persuaded the third uncle Liu Xingjiang to also plant all his fields with fruit trees.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon after returning home, and there was a boom in the village from time to time! The crackling sound of firecrackers indicates that the Chinese New Year's Eve meal has begun.
Liu Zhan is holding incense, candles, and paper money to burn in the hall, which is to send money to the deceased ancestors.
After Liu Fei saw it, he also went to help, and after burning some paper money in the hall, the two of them came to the gate again.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers in Liu Fei's house also sounded, and a large table of chickens, ducks and fish in the hall was very rich.
The men, women and children of the Miao family all drink, so the atmosphere is very lively. Liu Zhan sat on the main seat, and after Liu Xingguo and Zhang Ping toasted to his old man, it was Liu Fei's sisters' turn.
After toasting the eldest elder in the family, the family of seven began to eat and drink.
Seeing that the whole family was so happy, Liu Fei was very happy in his heart, and hoped that it would be like this every year in the future. Hope is good, but since the land acquisition in 2007, those days are gone. Liu Fei remembered that the second brother Liu Jun and the third sister never seemed to go home for the New Year, and they never came back even for the holidays.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner lasted for more than an hour, and then it was full of food and drink. Then Zhang Ping began to clean up the stump of food, and when Liu Fei saw it, he immediately got up to help. The third sister Liu Shanshan and the fourth sister Liu Wenwen also got up to do something, only Liu Jun sat aside like an uncle.
It was snowing outside and it was cold, so there was no outdoor entertainment, so the whole family had to stay by the fire pit and play cards.
Liu Zhan doesn't know how to play cards, only watching TV to relieve his fatigue.
Liu Fei and his sisters played with their parents with Zakin flowers, with a bottom of one piece and a cap of five yuan.
Although they were a family, Liu Fei saw that the sisters were still very concerned with their parents, and from time to time they argued for a long time about where to spend a few dollars.
Liu Fei doesn't care about these, as long as his family has fun, so Liu Fei gave up directly when he caught a good card, and left a few more from time to time.
Not long after playing cards, Liu Fei received a blessing message, after opening it, it turned out to be sent by Miao Feng, and even a little warm, after reading it, Liu Fei replied to the message, and then bolted the message out.
When he was about to put the mobile phone in his pocket, the mobile phone rang again, and when he picked it up, it turned out to be Liu Youcai calling, and after a shudder between the two sides, Liu Fei hung up the phone.
Then Liu Fei received a New Year's greeting call from Yang Wenzhong.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Fei took out three red envelopes and gave one to Liu Jun, Liu Shanshan, and Liu Wenwen.
"Brother, I'm rich this year! actually gave a red envelope of one thousand two. Liu Jun said excitedly with the red envelope.
Then, Liu Shanshan and Liu Wenwen also opened the red envelope, and when they saw that it was also one thousand two, both of them became excited, this was the most red envelope given by the eldest brother at one time.
gave the red envelopes to the second brother and sisters, Liu Fei took out three thick red envelopes, and handed them to his grandfather Liu Zhan first, followed by Zhang Ping and Liu Xingguo.
Liu Zhanmei took the red envelope with a smile, and after opening it, it turned out to be 12,000, seeing such a big red envelope, the old man didn't say much, just put the money in his pocket.
Liu Xingguo and Zhang Ping didn't say anything, and estimated in their hearts that Liu Fei gave the three sisters tuition fees in advance.
After everyone got the big red envelope, they began to watch the Spring Festival Gala, Liu Fei was not interested in TV, which may be the reason for too much contact with the media industry.
